Distributed Industrial Systems

Basic Programming Skills. For example in C or another language.

• Lectures with projection of theoretical slides on different subjects;
• Laboratorial classroom lessons with resolution of different exercises/real problems. Mandatory attendance of
75%;
• Module 1 – (50% of the evaluation). Continuous evaluation (lab) for 2 values. Final exam (written and practical)
quoted for 8 values;
• Module 2 – (50% of the evaluation). Practical work in groups quoted for 4 values – oral evaluation, with the
presence of teachers assigned to the course; Final written exam quoted for 6 values (minimum of 30%).
